Process for simultaneous extraction and purification of fine chemicals from spent mushroom compost, mushroom stems and partially degraded mushroom fruiting bodies

From the paper

Abstract

The aim of this process consists of simultaneous extraction and purification of fine chemicals (i.e enzymes, protein - bound polysaccharides, lectins, alkaloids, antibiotics and terpenes) from spent mushroom compost, mushroom stems or partially degraded mushroom fruiting bodies. Several mushroom strains can be used for this purpose such as Agaricus bisporus, Pleurotus ostreatus, Lentinula edodes, Cordyceps sinensis, Grifola frondosa, Ganoderma lucidium, Poria cocus, Polyporus umbelatus, Hericium erinaceus, Auricularia auricular and Coriolus versicolor.
